Chapter 422: Ecstasy Array
After all, in the eyes of slave owners, the name of the slave is not worth mentioning, and many times it is not as good as some livestock in the house.
Therefore, in many archaeological works, many slave bones can also be unearthed, which are the sacrifices used by slave owners to live sacrifices.
Later, with the continuous progress of society, history gradually entered the feudal society. In feudal society, slavery was slowly abolished, and there were few sacrificial rituals using living people as sacrifices, but some cattle, sheep, horses, and other animals should be used as living sacrifices.
Of course, this is only relative. In the eyes of some people with heinous power, it is not uncommon to use some lowly people to perform living sacrifices.
Even though all dynasties have explicitly forbade this kind of behavior, those who have the power will still do it against the law.
For example, the living figurines we see now have a clear rule in the Han Dynasty that living people cannot be used for burial, and the living figurines also appeared in this ancient tomb.
"Xiao Yan, are you saying that this tomb is for sacrifice?" I asked Li Huiyan.
"I'm not sure if it's a burial chamber specifically used for sacrifices, but judging from these living figurines, it should be that living sacrifice rituals were once performed in this burial chamber." Li Huiyan said.
"In that case, there should be a possibility of a coffin in this tomb." I said.
"Well, the more you go to the ancient tomb behind, the more mysterious the tomb owner hides the coffin. Although we have not found a coffin in this burial chamber yet, it does not mean that there are no coffins in the burial chamber. Li Huiyan said.
I don't feel the slightest surprise at Li Huiyan's answer. In fact, I always felt that there was a coffin in this burial chamber, for I had felt eyes watching us several times since I entered this burial chamber.
It's just that every time I try to feel it carefully, the gaze from the depths of the darkness suddenly disappears, as if it senses my thoughts.
The more strange it was, the more certain I was that there was something hidden in this burial chamber, as the things we'd encountered before proved it.
"Since the living sacrifice ceremony was carried out in this tomb, these stone carvings in the tomb should be made after the living sacrifice ceremony, otherwise it will be a little unruly." I thought about it and said.
If the person was made into a living figurine first, it is estimated that the person would have suffocated to death in it a long time ago, then it should be called a death sacrifice instead of a living sacrifice.
"Well, that's right, but we don't know what the purpose of the living sacrifice is, and we haven't found anything like this in other tombs." Li Huiyan said.
I glanced at Li Huiyan's frowning appearance, and I couldn't help but sigh a little. After all, more than a thousand years have passed, and no matter how smart Li Huiyan is, it is impossible to guess the thoughts of the tomb owner immediately.
It's possible that the ghost boy knows what these living figurines are used for, but I'm not going to ask him.
At this time, we are separated from those tomb robbers, and it is estimated that we will still have to turn our faces when we reach the last tomb, and in this case, it is better to let Yao Ling'er and the ghost boy hide first.
The ghost-faced spider and the yin snake have been completely exposed to the vision of the tomb robbers, and once the fight starts, most of them will not have any miracle effect, and it is still up to Yao Ling'er and the ghost boy to win by surprise.
Of course, the same is true of the five-colored toad hidden in He Zitong's body. It's just that before I determine what He Zitong thinks, I still can't completely believe her, and now He Zitong is mysterious and abnormal, and we can't guess it at all.
Even I have always been a little suspicious that He Zitong has some kind of agreement with the tomb robbers, and it is impossible to trust her completely.
"So what are we going to do next, we can't just waste time here all the time. Although there is only one last tomb left, we still have to hurry up and find a way out. I said to Li Huiyan.
I knew very well in my heart that even if we reached the ninth tomb, there was no guarantee that our next trip would be smooth sailing.
In particular, the tenth tomb, as a tomb where the real tomb owner is buried, is far from being as dangerous as the previous nine tombs.
Even if we have survived the nine ancient tombs in front of us, we dare not guarantee that there will be no accidents in the tenth ancient tomb, once we are trapped by some terrible anti-theft mechanism, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to escape.
"We really should find a way to get out of here, whether there is a coffin in this tomb or not, we can't stay here for long. Otherwise, once these living figurines are transformed, it is estimated that we will not be able to leave if we want to. Li Huiyan said with a solemn expression.
"No, the living figurines will also undergo corpse transformation. Doesn't it mean that corpses can only be transformed when they are contaminated with the breath of a living person, and the stone carvings made of these living figurines are sealed so well, it shouldn't be contaminated with any breath of a living person, right? I said.
"Of course I know, but after all, these stone carvings have been so long, who can guarantee that there are no small holes or crevices on them." Li Huiyan said.
"That's right, the quality of these stone carvings is really not very good, and it is estimated that a slight collision can knock them into pieces." I nodded.
When I was inspecting the stone carving before, I easily deducted a stone with a diameter of an inch on the stone carving with only a slight force.
If anyone accidentally hits these stone sculptures, there is a high chance that they will be completely damaged.
"There are still some things I don't know whether to say or not." After another two minutes, Li Huiyan said with some hesitation.
"Say whatever you want, there are no outsiders now." I said. The tomb robber is in the corner of another tomb, and He Zitong is at the door of the tomb, and now we only have the six people with the best relationship here, and we don't worry about being heard by others at all.
"Well, I'm just worried about one thing, maybe after entering this tomb, we will also become sacrifices for the owner of the tomb as a living sacrifice." Li Huiyan hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted her teeth and said.
"What! Xiaoyan, you shouldn't be joking, right? Hearing this, I almost jumped up, and I couldn't even control my voice.
As soon as I finished speaking, the tomb robbers who stayed in the corner of the tomb and He Zitong at the door of the tomb both looked at each other, obviously curious about the content of our conversation.
"Shhhh Li Huiyan hurriedly said.
"I'm sorry, I didn't hold back just now, it's true that your words are too scary." I hurriedly lowered my voice and said.
Just now, Li Huiyan said that after we enter this tomb again, we will also become the sacrifice used by the owner of the tomb as a living sacrifice, how can we not be shocked.
Not only did I feel a little unacceptable, but even Xiao Yue, Qin Gong and the Dong family siblings on the side all widened their eyes, unable to believe what they had heard.
If we become a sacrifice of living sacrifice, doesn't it mean that we may die here, which is really a little unacceptable?
"I'm just guessing, it's not necessarily the case." Li Huiyan said.
"That's what you said, but what you just said is still too scary. Didn't the living sacrifice ceremony end more than a thousand years ago, and all these stone carvings in the tomb were originally used as living sacrifices, why do you say that we may also be sacrifices? I said.
Just hearing the word sacrifice knows that it is definitely not a good thing, let alone a living sacrifice.
I have a feeling that we seem to be being calculated by the owner of the tomb. From the moment we entered the ancient tomb, all kinds of priceless funerary goods in the tomb continued to appear in our eyes.
Not only that, but the murals and reliefs in the tomb are always filled with scenes of ten coffins, which gives the impression of reminding us that there are ten ancient tombs here.
Just imagine, if we are really the kind of tomb robbers who steal the burial goods of the ancient tomb, once we see that there are so many good things in the ancient tomb, can we not be tempted?
Human greed is endless, once the person who enters the tomb is attracted by the various burial goods in the tomb, he will definitely try his best to enter the next tomb, in order to find more valuable burial goods.
Although we are not tomb robbers, we are curious about everything in the tomb, so we came here step by step.
All this seems to be a matter of course, but when you think about it carefully, it seems that it is a trap designed by the owner of the tomb thousands of years ago, using the precious burial goods in the ancient tomb in order to lead the people who enter the ancient tomb step by step into this tomb.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt a chill in my back, if all this was true, then the scheming of the tomb owner was inevitably too deep, and even the thoughts of people thousands of years later could be guessed.
I couldn't help but shake my head secretly, I didn't want to believe that all this was true, maybe I was just thinking too much.
After all, if the owner of the tomb really wanted to lead us to this tomb, the ancient tombs in front of us should not be equipped with all kinds of complicated mechanisms.
If it weren't for the careful and lucky enough of us, I'm afraid that we would have been planted in the eight ancient tombs in front of us, where would we still be able to come here.
"Maybe it's a bit alarmist, but it's not impossible, at least I already sensed that the atmosphere in the tomb was a little strange." Li Huiyan said.
"In your opinion, is it possible that the owner of the tomb used those burial objects to deliberately arouse our curiosity and thus lure us here?" I asked Li Huiyan.
"This idea of yours is quite peculiar, and I guess it is really possible." Li Huiyan thought for a while and said.
As soon as Li Huiyan's words fell, I suddenly felt something passing by not far away. Seeing this, I quickly swept it with my flashlight, but because the thing was so fast, I couldn't see what it was.
But in my haste, I found something, something that had just appeared and disappeared in an instant that looked like a coffin.
